Brexit has failed to “put a dent in job opportunities” for the unemployed

Although the number available was the lowest on record, the report disproves scaremongering from Remain campaigners - or Project Fear - who warned unemployment would rise if the UK opted to leave the European Union.

But Doug Monro, co-founder of Adzuna, said: "Rising vacancies in June suggest the jobs market was strong pre-Brexit and that employers may still be keen to hire in the next couple of months.

"There's a long journey ahead to deal with upcoming changes, political, legal and financial, but the jobs market is adaptable. Negative headlines disguise a picture of steady growth in the run up to the vote.

"As well as more jobs on offer, an ongoing skills shortage is making jobseekers more valuable to companies. Employers are competing to snap up those with the right skills, giving applicants more bargaining power in the boardroom over salary and benefits. Job hunters now have more options and can push for a better deal."

Financial and legal jobs have stagnated in recent months, suggesting it might take these sectors longer to recover from the Brexit shock, the report added.

But banks could also benefit from the vote in the long run - despite economists expecting the Bank of England to cut the interest rate this week from a record low of 0.5 per cent in response to economic uncertainty.

Boston Consulting Group - which claimed Brexit would "undoubtably" have a negative impact for the UK - said there would also be opportunities produced by the vote.

The group said banks would be able to benefit from finding new ways of boosting the growth of certain business lines, which banks should prepare to exploit.

Adzuna admitted a south-east "bubble" was forming, with four out of the five best UK cities to find work being the region's Guildford, Oxford, Reading and Winchester.

Cambridge topped the list, with 14 jobs available for every jobseeker.
